21 Questions is a must-have question game to play

21 questions is one of the most popular ice breakers and helps you get to know your teammates better. 

The rule of this question game is simple: participants take turns asking each other questions and answering them honestly. 

You can make a list of questions on entirely different topics. Everything depends on your imagination. The more authentic questions you ask, the more interesting the game is. The basic rule is to keep the list of questions around 21.

The game ends when each player asks 21 questions. Your team can play as many rounds as you like. 

Below, we have gathered a list of the most popular questions divided into several categories. A game moderator can choose the topic and offer questions from this list. Feel free to use them as they are grouped or create a special mix of questions that work best for your community.

Wrapping up

At their virtual parties, our clients usually mix questions from all four groups. A balanced mix of personal, business, philosophical and funny questions will allow participants to open up, get to know colleagues better, and enjoy funny and interesting answers.

If your event does not involve Mick Jagger or a dozen animators, a game of 21 questions will be the best solution to create a relaxed team-building atmosphere.

Please note that groups of players should not be too large, otherwise people will get bored waiting for their turn. It is better to break large teams into smaller groups and assign a moderator to each.

And if you still have not decided where to hold your next corporate party, pay attention to PartySpace. We are always happy to organize a unique event for teams of 10 people or international companies with several thousand participants. Good luck with your virtual party!
